SPN fic: The Bitter Taste of Smoke

[errant_jane]

OKAY, THEN! Who wants angsty pre-S6 Dean POV gen fic?

Internets: *crickets*

WELL, I WROTE SOME ANYWAY! IDEK, of all the things I could write, this is what happened yesterday at work.

aggybird's first comment when she sent it back was, "I thought you said this was GEN." To which I say, it IS. As gen as Sam and Dean ever get, anyway. /o\

It is a mark of my undying adoration for your writing that I am now taking time out of my busy schedule of ALL TOM HARDY ALL THE TIME to read this story. FYI.

Liz, your icon UTTERLY TERRIFIED ME for a moment because I thought, TOM HARDY'S PENIS IS CAKE?!?

Your boyfriend, Dean Winchester, wants to know why you haven't been returning his calls. Are you breaking up with him?

...MAYBE I AM.

idk this is all so sudden and new to me. *sobs*

Dean asks that you not make any hasty decisions and instead wait until the new season starts. He is sure he can earn back your love. HE HAS LOTS OF MANPAIN LEFT TO GIVE!!

This is so gooooood. I want to just read it over and over in between bouts of sighing and lying despondently upon my fainting couch reading bad poetry. It puts me in a MOOD. Also I never, ever, get tired of Dean's manpain. It's the best flavor!

Seriously, I want to tie you to a computer chair and make you write ALL THE THINGS.

Awww, you flatter me! I like it. ;D

Do you suppose we should be disturbed at how very enjoyable we find Dean's manpain? I mean, like, I really kind of like it A LOT. It's so rich and delicious, like eating frosting straight from the jar. Mmmmmmmm, manpain!!

Seriously, I might need to start taking insulin so I can process all the sweet, sweet manpain.
